There was some contention today between players on the space dubbed the "hotel". It's the flat roofed building just north (above) Bravo on the map. It lies between the Marine and Insurgence spawn points. The Marines had a saw setup to guard the insurgent tunnel outlet to this area. Particularly due to the fact the the insurgents were controlling the hotel and making it near impossible for marines to get out of spawn. Since the marines -only- can exit spawn above ground at street level, and the insurgents have a multitude of other routes, some quite protected in underground passages, I'd have to say this is perfectly OK for marines to camp in order to secure a street level insertion. Now marines running into the underground tunnels towards Insurgent spawn is pushing it, especially if they get near the insurgent "point of no return" which is the obstacle insurgents jump down from and can't go back into spawn from.

Even with the insurgent exit to hotel guarded, insurgents can exit street level near A, street level west of hotel, 2nd story north of A, and the long passage that exits between B and C. Whereas the marine team only has two exits, both leading to the street. It's damn near vital that the marines hold the hotel in order to have a route out.
